Longitudinal shifts in pollen onset, duration, and intensity are public health concerns for the growing number of individuals with sensitization. National analyses long-term changes influenced by how a plant's main season (MPS) is defined. Prior Swiss studies have inconsistently applied MPS definitions, leading to heterogeneous conclusions regarding magnitude, directionality, significance multi...

Plants used for treating endoand ectoparasites of rabbits and poultry in British Columbia included Arctium lappa (burdock), Artemisia sp. (wormwood), Chenopodium album (lambsquarters) and C. ambrosioides (epazote), Cirsium arvense (Canada thistle), Juniperus spp. (juniper), Mentha piperita (peppermint), Nicotiana sp. (tobacco), Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), Rubus spp. (blackberry and raspbe...

Use of complementary and alternative medicine CAM is commonly encountered among cancer patients. The method most commonly adopted is the use of alternative medicine products. In this study, use of CAM by Turkish cancer patients, its frequency and CAM usage alteration in over time according to results of previous studies were evaluated. Patients were enrolled from a single centre (Kayseri Traini...

Phenolic compounds including flavonoids and phenolic acids are plants secondary metabolites. Due to their ability to act as antioxidant agents, there is a growing interest to use those components in traditional medicine for cancer prevention or treatment. The aim of this study was to measure the amounts of total phenolics and flavonoids as well as anti-proliferative effect of aqueous extract of...

The effect of different amount nettle hay meal replacing concentrated feed on the development replacement pig stock in terms live weight and external measurements are studied. Indicators growth patterns, nutrient consumption per 1 kg pigs under test cinsidered as well. Hematological indicators were researched. main group was fed with basic diet comparative periods experiment. (barley, wheat, pe...

• Changes in community composition resulting from climate change entail modifications of biotic interactions and reshape local species distributions. Such changes are currently occurring in nettle-feeding butterflies in Sweden where Araschnia levana has recently expanded its range northward and is now likely to interact with the resident species (Aglais urticae and Aglais io). Butterfly occurre...

This study aimed to analyse the bioaccumulation of heavy metal ions in plants spontaneous flora. An urban area was established from which soil samples were taken and analyses performed on content ions. The collected Iasi’s determine concentrations, obtain maps sensitive land, metals flora transfer these into an aqueous extract. investigation ion levels certain revealed following: (i) all Brassi...

Spices are food additives that used in many different areas of technology. Most the spices contain essential oils sensitive to thermal degradation processes. Therefore, an alternate method decontamination, other than thermal, should be so microbial safety is ensured. This study was focused on evaluation effect ionizing radiation, known as radurization, microbiological samples red pepper, black ...

Innovations in the agro-industrial sector are determined by development of biotechnologies from stage growing raw materials to their processing and storage. In compliance with phytosanitary requirements (including use radiation technologies) for grain, issues ensuring preservation dry composite mixtures storage conditions bitechnological techniques prolonging shelf life when adding phytosources...
